The Marburger Bund - Association of employed and civil servant doctors in Germany e. V. is a professional association and a trade union for doctors in Germany and is based in Berlin. It was founded in Marburg in 1947 and, according to its own information, had more than 118,000 members (of a total of around 163,000 German hospital doctors) at the end of 2015, so it represents around 70 percent of hospital doctors. This makes the Marburger Bund the largest medical associationin Europe. It acts on both a collective bargaining policy (collective bargaining) and a professional and social status (medical association) level. The members of the Marburger Bund are automatically members of the Marburger Bund Bundesverband through one of the 14 regional associations. The place of work is decisive for the responsibility of the regional association.

aims

The Marburger Bund ( MB for short ) sits down u. a. for the improvement of the professional situation of salaried and civil servant doctors. This is to be achieved in particular through the abolition of fixed-term employment contracts and remuneration for all overtime and on- call services. Regulated working hours and internationally competitive salaries are named as the main goals.

history

At a meeting of the Marburg AStA in the spring of 1947, the first framework of statutes for the local working groups of young doctors within the medical associations was drafted. At a later meeting it was decided to no longer call itself the “Working Group of Young Doctors”, but rather the “Marburg Association - Association of employed doctors”. The Marburg community was dissolved at the fourth Interzonentagung , transformed into a tariff-compatible association with individual memberships and given the name "Marburg Association - Association of Employed Doctors" (MB) on May 5, 1948. The federal office was opened in Cologne-Mülheim .

In 2005 the Marburger Bund moved into a new head office in Berlin-Mitte .

Occurrence in collective bargaining

A "friendship agreement" was made with the German employees' union . Thereafter, the Marburger Bund should remain independent, but should have a seat and vote within the DAG tariff commission. In 1950 an agreement was reached with the DAG to act on behalf of the MB in collective bargaining at the federal level. After the merger of the DAG (which was never a member of the DGB) with four DGB unions to form the ver.di union , the power of attorney was transferred to them. At the 108th general meeting of the Marburger Bund on September 10, 2005 in Berlin, it was decided to separate the Marburger Bund from the legal successor of the DAG trade union ver.di as a collective bargaining partner. Thus, the Marburger Bund is an independent collective bargaining agency for employed and civil servant hospital doctors. This led to a wave of membership: within a few weeks, the number of members rose by 15,000 to over 96,000. In a Focus interview on August 7, 2006, chairman Frank Ulrich Montgomery expressed the intention to bring all medical associations together and form a new health union.

Doctors' strike and collective bargaining in 2006

The Marburger Bund (MB) protested on September 6, 2005 with more than 5,000 doctors in Stuttgart against what they believed to be poor working and income conditions for clinic doctors . The Marburger Bund rejects the new collective agreement for the public service (TVöD) and demands a doctor-specific collective agreement from employers in collective bargaining. When negotiations came to a standstill on the part of the collective bargaining association of German states (TdL), the MB called the first nationwide medical strike at German university clinics and state psychiatric hospitals in March 2006. On June 16, 2006, the Marburger Bund succeeded in reaching an agreement with the TdL on an independent collective agreement for doctors.

After the wage agreement was concluded, activities focused on the municipal hospitals. After almost eight weeks of strike action, a new collective agreement for doctors at city and district hospitals was agreed on August 17, 2006.

Very welcomed by large parts of the medical profession, the medical collective agreements of the Marburger Bund met with criticism from the DGB unions and the hospital owners.

The current TV doctors / VKA is valid until December 31, 2018.

Collective bargaining 2009

On March 27, 2009, the Marburger Bund and the collective bargaining association of German states agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement for doctors at university clinics and other doctors employed in the state service. The salaries of university doctors were increased by 3.8 percent from May 1, 2009 and by a further 1.2 percent from August 1, 2010. In addition to clinically active university doctors, doctors who were temporarily active in research or teaching, as well as doctors in penal hospitals, were also covered by the doctor-specific collective agreement.

The Marburger Bund is also negotiating with the MDS / MDK community and with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung each on their own collective agreement.
